  Decentralized isn’t the right word to use for a system like this.

  OP - If you don’t give thanks and praise FSM, you’ll find all your vermicelli will break into short pieces, and your macaroni will be mushy. Who would want to dine at your home then?

  I think a likely scenario would be for name changes, such as taking your partner’s surname after marriage.

  “Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people

  So confidently stated yet so very wrong. Citation - an example that’s available nationwide: no-ad.com/product/spf-85-sunscreen-lotion-3-oz/
